Employee Onboarding Access

New employees are automatically provided with access to the following basic accounts and services.

Timing for Account Creation

  1. Department submits approved hiring paperwork to Human Resources (HR).
  2. Employee ID (9 digit number): HR approves and creates ID in CMS.
  3. Otter ID (e.g., Otte1234): Created from an overnight process after the Employee ID is created.
  4. Employees groups accounts and email accounts:  Created on the effective date of employment (as established by the Department).
    • Groups are established by role (e.g., employees are in the group that has access to the Dashboard, Google and MSOffice).
    • Email account (e.g., JOtter@csumb.edu): Email from Okta is sent to the employee personal email to claim the new CSUMB email account.
  5. Employee accounts are deleted on the date of separation.
